Musgrove Willows’ Black Maul White Willow is stripped and dried to create white willow rods. The variety of willow and the timing of the stripping play a big part in the quality of the end product. It’s also worth remembering that white willow isn’t ‘paper’ white, it is a slightly creamy color. White willow can be used on its own or as an accent to brown or buff willow projects.
Key characteristics
Natural, bark-stripped white willow.
Strength and flexibility suitable for baskets, sculptural weaving, furniture accents, and craft projects.
Because the bark is stripped, these rods absorb water and rehydrate at a different rate than standard brown willow. See our soaking guide for more information.
Packaging and sizing
Sold in 2 lb bundles.
4ft is about 200-220 rods
5ft is about 150-160 rods
6 ft is about 80-90 rods
Lengths measured by the foot, with typical tolerances:
4 ft: rods range between 3–4 feet
5 ft: rods range between 4–5 feet
6 ft: rods range between 5–6 feet
Care and storage
Store in a cool, dry place
